Integrate with the Mac OS X 10.3 Font Book program so that user-specified font collections can be 
accessed and used from within Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

How would you suggest this be intergrated? I don't even Safari does this... do
you mean to have Mozilla render what your font selection looks like in real
time... similar to the font set up in Camino or Safari?
Integration would be with HTML mail compose and Composer.    It would allow windows to be 
drawn faster by reducing the number of fonts in the font selection list.
How would using FontBook allow faster window drawing? Sorry for such a simple
question but I just don't follow Font Book that much as I am not that interested
in Font management...

Reading Apples Font Book page [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/fontbook/],
to me it seems as if one would be able to better maniplate fonts styles when
composing email and what not... but the major question is this... will the
kerning, letteer spacing, height, and everything else get passed along in the
email... html email... does a CSS porperty exist for some of the things Font
Book allows the user to do? It would be cool and all... just wondering.

Not sure how well styling would transfer.   This might not be a valid bug after all now that I look 
more at Font Book.   Reducing the number of fonts does speed up compose window drawing as the 
font list is shorter.

If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
